Our analysis The partnership between the Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group and the autonomous Muslim government in the Philippines marks a significant development in the effort to recover the remains of American and Filipino soldiers missing in action since World War II. This cooperation is crucial as it brings together local authority, historical knowledge, and access to MIA burial sites, creating a genuine opportunity for recovery and identification. The success of this endeavor relies on the alignment of these factors, which has been lacking in previous attempts. As the Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group works to locate and recover the remains, their efforts will be closely watched by families of the missing soldiers and the broader veterans community. The outcome of this partnership will have implications for the families of the missing soldiers, who have waited for decades for closure, and may also inform future efforts to recover remains of soldiers missing in action in other parts of the world.
